The barbarians in Bingzhou are causing rebellion. Who is the most suitable person to lead the army to quell the rebellion?
Master Sima wanted to say, of course, sir.
But if even the little barbarians have to be led by adults, then the great Wei is really hopeless.
It had only been a few years since Cao Wei accepted the Zen throne from the Han Emperor. Could it be that he had already reached the point where no one could use him?
Not to mention that the adults are guarding Guanzhong, how can they leave easily?
When the people of Shu saw the master leaving Guanzhong, would they not take any action?
Therefore, Master Sima rejected this idea immediately.
So who should it be?
Master Sima glanced at Sima Yi, his mind spinning rapidly.
He knew that although he had no official position now, the Lord still took him with him, which was enough to explain some problems.
So I can't let the adults down.
Since the adults intend to test themselves, they must have given hints.
Master Sima went over what he had said before in detail, and his heart suddenly moved when he remembered what the adults said about "preferring to use side branches and in-laws."
So he thought about all the Cao family members and in-laws, and asked tentatively:
"Cao Shuang? Cao Yu?"
Sima Yi glanced at his son:
"After all, Bi Gui has been the governor of Bingzhou for several years. Cao Shuang and Cao Yu don't even have the qualifications to lead the political party. I'm afraid they are not as good as Bi Gui. You let them lead the army?"
Master Sima said.
Is that an in-law?
In fact, there is another Xiahou Xian in the Xiahou family.
It's just that the Xiahou clan is no longer trusted by His Majesty.
Xia Houxian just got a sinecure and stayed in Luoyang doing nothing.
It can be said that the current treatment of the representatives of the Xiahou clan is worse than that of myself who was implicated in the flashy case.
After all, he has been lifted from the ban and can travel freely.
The main figures of the Xiahou clan are not even allowed to leave Luoyang.
After much thought, Master Sima could not guess who His Majesty would most likely send.
Because this person must not only gain His Majesty's trust, but also have the ability to command troops.
Just these two conditions, there are actually many people in the DPRK who meet them.
But if you add the conditions of clan and in-laws, it will be a bit difficult to find.
After all, after two generations of continuous restrictions and weakening of the clan, the current royal clan has no outstanding talents at all.
As if he could read his son's thoughts, Sima Yi said again leisurely:
"Those with the surname Cao may not necessarily be a clan relative; those with a clan surname may not necessarily be surnamed Cao!"
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Master Sima suddenly woke up and blurted out: "Qin Lang!"
Qin Lang's lord is Qin Yilu, and Qin Yilu's wife is Du.
Qin Yilu was originally a general under Lu Bu. He later went to Yuan Shu as an envoy, but Yuan Shu took him as his wife, a daughter of the Han clan.
He left his ex-wife Du and his son Qin Lang alone in Xiapi.
Well, everyone knows that Emperor Wu's hobbies are slightly different from ordinary people.
At that time, Emperor Wu besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi. After the city was defeated, he saw Du's beauty and accepted her.
So Qin Lang became Emperor Wu's stepson.
Similar to Qin Lang, there is He Yan, who was born to Mrs. Yin.
Mrs. Yin was originally the daughter-in-law of General He Jin.
However, although Qin Lang and He Yan have similar fates, their personalities are completely opposite.
He Yan has a flamboyant personality and behaves without scruples. As a pretender, he wears clothes similar to those of the prince.
He married Emperor Wu's Princess Jinxiang as his wife, but because he gave birth to a good boy, he was known as a naughty man, so he often had contact with other women.
Such actions were naturally hated by Emperor Wen.
Therefore, he was unable to hold office during the early years of Huang Dynasty.
When the current His Majesty takes the throne, He Yan will only be awarded the position of redundant official.
However, a few years ago, he was involved in a flashy case just like himself, and his future seemed even more bleak.
Compared to He Yan's publicity, Qin Lang is much more low-key and cautious.
From Emperor Wu to Emperor Wen, and even His Majesty now, they all like Qin Lang very much.
Emperor Wu even publicly declared: Is there anyone in the world who loves a fake child like an orphan?
If He Yan was eager for wealth and power, then Qin Lang took the initiative not to hold an official position during the two generations of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen, but was keen on traveling.
He even became friends with His Majesty, who was not liked by Emperor Wen at that time.
Therefore, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he immediately recruited Qin Lang to serve as an official in the court, and often asked him to travel with him, and even often affectionately called him by his nickname Asu.
His Majesty not only rewarded Qin Lang many times, but also built him a large mansion in the capital.
His trust in Qin Lang is as great as this.
The most important thing is that Qin Lang's talent is not low.
In the Battle of Xiaoguan, many of the soldiers led by former Grand Sima were defeated.
Qin Lang's battalion was one of the few that was relatively intact among the fighting battalions.
After the defeat of Xiaoguan, Qin Lang protected Cao Dasima's retreat, and worked with Guo Huai to collect the defeated troops, thus leaving a lot of vitality for the Guanzhong army.
After thinking about it like this, Master Sima felt more and more that Qin Lang was indeed the right candidate.
Sima Yi heard the answer he wanted and nodded with satisfaction:
"Indeed, Qin Yuanming was someone close to His Majesty, but when he saw the danger, he was ordered to lead the army to stay in Guanzhong."
"The situation now is not as good as it was back then. In addition, His Majesty has been separated from me for several years. I think I miss you too."
"How about doing a favor and letting him return to His Majesty? It would be a good thing."
During the Battle of Longyou, His Majesty visited Chang'an in person, but Zhang He was defeated in Jieting and Wei Zhen was defeated in Wudu.
The Guanzhong was in turmoil, in order to guard the various passes, and at the same time to disintegrate the alliance of upstarts such as Cao Zhao, Qin Lang.
Liu Fang and Sun Zi, two veterans of three dynasties who had been in charge of secrets for many years, suggested that Qin Lang be sent to guard Qian County.
This defense means staying in Guanzhong for five years without returning.
As an old fox, how could Sima Yi not guess what Liu Fang and Sun Zi were thinking?
It's just that Qin Lang has been a blessing in disguise in the past few years in Guanzhong and has become a rookie in the Wei army. He is afraid that things will go against what the two of them want.
And Qin Lang stayed in Guanzhong for several years, and he may not want to return to Luoyang.
Your Majesty may not not want Qin Lang to return to him.
Therefore, taking advantage of the Bingzhou issue and taking advantage of the situation to send Qin Lang away is a matter for all parties, why not do it?
"Is everything going well in all directions?"
Master Sima was startled and couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Isn't it Sanfang?"
Your Majesty, Qin Lang, Liu Fang and Sun Zi, who else is there?
When he looked at his master with some doubts and saw his meaningful expression, he suddenly understood:
Don't you want Qin Lang to stay in Guanzhong?
After thinking about it, Master Sima was stunned at first, and then suddenly felt an inexplicable heart palpitation:
Sir, what do you think?
"What on earth is he thinking!"
Cao Rui, who was also in Luoyang, slammed the memorial sent by Bingzhou onto the case and cursed angrily:
"Asking him to be the governor of Bingzhou is to appease the local government, not to interfere in foreign affairs!"
Liang Xi ruled the state for more than 20 years, and his political achievements were often the best in the world.
With such a good governance foundation, Bi Gui was actually able to stage a rebellion at Bibutugen.
Now that you are writing such a memorial, do you really think that you are a foolish king who does not know how to govern the world?
In fact, although Bi Gui is a relative of the emperor, Cao Rui doesn't like him very much now.
The reason is also very simple, because when investigating the Fuhua case, Cao Rui discovered that Bi Gui had a close connection with everyone in the Fuhua case.
If Cao Rui hadn't suffered successive defeats after ascending the throne, Cao Rui would have dismissed Bi Gui as governor of Bingzhou just because of the flashy case.
But now, Cao Rui's foundation is unstable, so even if he knows that Bi Gui's governance of Bingzhou is ineffective, he has to hold his nose and endure it.
Because Cao Rui's position was far less solid than in history, he had to treat the powerful children and young students lightly.
Therefore, the impact of the Flashy Case has been much smaller than in the original history.
But what Cao Rui didn't expect was that Bi Gui, who was related to the flashy case, would actually intensify his efforts and force Bu Dugen, who was guarding the border for the Wei Dynasty, to rebel.
Why didn't this make him yell in anger?
These "glorious and pretentious people" really don't have any good things. They only talk empty words and harm the country!
Cao Rui said bitterly in his heart.
But I saw that his anger was still lingering:
"Although Bu Dugen was seduced by Bi Neng, there was distaste between the two of them, so he should be suspicious."
"Now that Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, has sent out troops, it will only force the two divisions to merge into one. How can we control it?"
Although Nu Bigui did not argue, after all, his position as governor of Bingzhou was appointed by himself, and Cao Rui was not allowed to deal with his aftermath.
So he issued an edict:
"Send troops to defeat Hu Ke, but do not cross the pass."
The so-called Guansa refers to the Great Wall built by the Han Dynasty.
What Cao Rui didn't know was that his edict had just left Luoyang, and Bi Gui had already led the army across the pass and arrived at the Yin Pavilion not far from the north of the pass.
Bu Dugen's tribe did not flee directly to the north, but turned to the west.
It seems that they want to cross the river and enter the Jiuyuan Old Land (i.e. the Hetao area).
After Bi Gui made this judgment, he immediately sent generals Su Shang and Dong Bi as forwards to continue pursuing the Budugen tribe.
What he didn't know was that Ke Bineng had personally led more than ten thousand fine riders from the west, preparing to meet Bu Dugen.
At the same time, he also sent his son as a vanguard to advance towards the building west of the Yin Pavilion.
Because he had made an appointment with Bu Dugen, the two parties met upstairs.
After so many years of management, Ke Bineng's power has expanded from northern Youzhou to the Jiuyuan area, the hometown of the Han Dynasty.
Although Bu Dugen has competed with Ke Bi in recent years, he has mostly suffered losses.
In the end, they could only retreat to Yanmen County and Taiyuan County in Bingzhou, and rely on the Wei people to save the tribe.
It can be said that Kebineng has completely suppressed Bu Dugen from the north.
If Bu Dugen wants to return to the grassland, he must either defeat Kebineng or get Kebineng's consent.
This is also the reason why Budugen agreed to merge with Kebi Neng.
If you live under someone else's roof, if you can live with it, then forget about it.
It just so happened that Bi Gui was an unworthy son, so he might as well return to the grassland.
The grassland in June is lush with water and grass.
Su Shang and Dong Bi led the Wei army's cavalry all the way to the west, pursuing the Budugen tribe.
Although it is difficult to tell the direction on the grassland, Han and Hu people live together in Bingzhou, so there is no shortage of Hu cavalry in the army.
Moreover, the barbarians lived by water, and Bu Dugen fled with his whole family, old and young, at a slow pace, so it was not too difficult to catch them.
However, Bu Dugen stayed behind to break up the Hu people's elite cavalry. In order for their tribe to escape safely, they also struggled to keep entangled and delay time.
"Bah! These wild dogs are really fighting for their lives!"
Su Shang spat, wiped the knife on the still warm Hu Ren corpse a few times, and then raised the edge of the knife to look at it.
I found that the blade was already a bit curled, probably because I had chopped off too many heads of barbarians these days, and I felt a little distressed at the moment.
Then he kicked the corpse bitterly and cursed: "You don't know what is good and what is evil!"
Dong Bi also came over with a long bow. Seeing Su Shang venting his anger on the corpse, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"We caught a few alive over there, do you want to vent your anger?"
"If Bu Dugen were still there, I would still be interested, but forget about these beards."
Su Shang answered as he raised his knife and walked towards another corpse not far away.
He seemed to have seen the body move just now.
I kicked my boots, but there was no movement.
Then he kicked the body with more force and turned the body over.
The corpse finally let out a faint groan.
The Hu man who was injured and pretending to be dead opened his eyes and saw a condescending Han general staring at him with indifferent eyes.
His eyes couldn't help but show fear and pleading.
This is still a barbarian boy who is only in his teens.
But Su Shang knew that such a barbarian young man would risk his life to kill him or one of his soldiers in the confrontation just now.
He raised the knife indifferently and slashed on the neck of the foreign boy, causing blood to spatter.
Before the foreign boy could make any sound, his eyes had already lost their luster.
His lips seemed to be moving, as if he was trying to say something before dying, but in the end nothing came out.
On this small battlefield after the battle, many Wei soldiers were doing the same thing as Su Shang.
Seeing the Hu man who was still dead, he stabbed him to death with a clean knife.
This is the normal procedure for treating wounded soldiers of the defeated army after a battle between the two armies.
No matter whether the other party is a Hu, a Han, or a Wu...
Two days later, the vanguard of the Wei army arrived thirty miles away from Loufan.
At the same time, a barbarian spirit cavalry appeared in their eyes.
This barbarian elite cavalry is different from the barbarian cavalry who have been delaying while escaping in the past few days.
They were facing the Wei army head-on. There was no panic on their faces, but they were like vultures that had seen their prey, eager to try.
After a sharp cry, Su Shang and Dong Bi sent people to the front and shouted:
"The Wei Dynasty is chasing the defectors. Who in front dares to intercept them?"
The pursuit over the past few days convinced Wei Jun that Bu Dugen had no guts to turn around and fight.
In addition, they were eager to pursue, so they did not have time to send scouts to the front to find out more.
So now a barbarian elite cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him, which surprised Su Shang and Dong Bi.
Someone from the front quickly replied:
"We belong to Lord Kebineng. Are you guys also here to join Lord Kebineng?"
"Kebineng?!"
Su Shang and Dong Bi looked at each other, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes.
They naturally knew that Bu Dugen was going to rely on Kebineng as a whole.
But what they didn't expect was that Kebi Neng would dare to send troops to Bingzhou to respond!
That's right, although they have left the pass, the Loufan area is still nominally the border of the Wei Dynasty.
Ke Bineng's move was tantamount to making it clear that he was provoking Da Wei and quarreling with Da Wei.
"Kebineng has paid tribute several times over the years and claimed to be a vassal of the Wei Dynasty. But now he secretly accepted the Wei Dynasty and defected. Is he planning to rebel?"
rebel?
Hearing this sentence sent by the Wei people, the leader of the Hu people laughed:
"The tribute is for the benefit of you Han people. If there is no benefit, who would be willing to be your vassal?"
Although the Han Dynasty has become the Wei Dynasty, due to the power of the two Han Dynasties, the Hu people still used to call the Central Plains people Han people.
It is the Han people themselves who call themselves Wei people.
The leader of the Hu people was too lazy to talk nonsense to these Han troops. He waved his hand, and the sound of horns sounded, and the sound of horns rose and fell one after another.
Hu Qi began to roar and gallop forward.
Looking at Ma Jian'er under his command, the Hu leader said to an old Hu man next to him:
"Uncle, wait a moment, let's see how my nephew slaughtered these Han people to vent his anger."
The old man was Bu Dugen who fled with his family.
He forced a smile.
Su Shang and Dong Bi watched the Hu Ren's movements, how could they not understand each other's intentions.
They even noticed movements from both the north and the south, knowing that the other side had already planned.
The two of them were shocked and angry, and immediately they drew their swords and shouted:
"kill!"
How can a man from Bingzhou be afraid of Hu?
